"He leaned closer than necessary, and she felt it like a spark she wasn't supposed to notice." Alexander Black is a boy haunted by legacies-son of a murderer, heir to a dark name, a Slytherin no one dares to trust. Hermione Granger knows better than to look twice at boys like him... yet some truths are impossible to ignore. From whispered secrets in the Forbidden Forest to the full moon nights that reveal the wildest parts of him, Quiet Monsters follows Alexander and Hermione across seven years of Hogwarts, war, and magic that demands courage beyond spells. As monsters are revealed, friendships are tested, and love blooms in the shadows, they learn that gentleness can be the most dangerous power of all. In a world that fears him, Alexander's heart remains the quietest and most uncontainable danger.
